How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Whitewood needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Fire rated sealant in Whitewood, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Whitewood is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Whitewood?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Letting a property close to Godstone station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Whitewood
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Whitewood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Full insurance on every job

What fire rated sealant looks like in Whitewood
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

Do the sealants smell?

Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
